Career Coach Dr. David Petrovay Launched Book, Guiding Workers Through the Emotional Burden of Job Loss
05/21/2025, Bend, Oregon // PRODIGY: Feature Story //
Dr. David Petrovay , a career coach with expertise spanning more than 25 years, launched his book as a guide to navigating the emotional side of job loss. Tapping into his diverse background in settings including schools, nonprofits, adult career centers, and private practices, this literary contribution, for now veiled in mystery, will be a powerful fusion of personal experiences and pragmatism. Its goal? To help professionals unlock their full potential by setting themselves free from feeling stuck.
On his mission to help people from all walks of life, Dr. Petrovay utilizes multiple outlets for spreading awareness and inspiration. As a Career Coach & Counselor, he supports clients on their paths to fulfillment, fine-tuning their skills, clarifying goals, and aligning values with opportunities. His personal help addresses professional needs, allowing Dr. Petrovay to meet employees and job-seekers exactly where they are.
His approach is rooted in a blend of academia and personal experiences, which, beyond coaching and counseling, Dr. Petrovay utilizes as a speaker at keynotes and group workshops and as a prolific author. To date, he has penned three transformative books, each one a stepping stone to achieving his mission of building a skilled, confident, and fulfilled workforce.
Engaged in journaling since 2010, Dr. Petrovay released Ponderings: Daily Reflections for Inspiration and Transformation in 2021. He invites readers on a journey of self-exploration, where he delves into ten topics, from believing to gratitude, to spark meaning and reflection. In 2024, he launched Out of Work Not Out of WORTH: Navigating the emotional side of job loss , a powerful chapter in the emotional burden of job loss conversation.
A month later, he amplified his message by launching Out of Work NOT Out of Worth: THE WORKBOOK . The work expands on the exercises presented in the first Out of Work project, providing more tools for readers to discover self-confidence, perseverance, acceptance, resilience, and commitment during change. After seeing the immense impact of authorship, putting pen to paper once again seemed like the natural next step.
In Out of Work , Dr. Petrovay introduced 5 key points to navigating the emotional side of unemployment. His newest venture, co-authored with Debra Hertzog, will build upon this foundation, delving even deeper into the psychology of job loss or career stagnation. Called the 'Stuck Paradigm,' the book will unveil Dr. Petrovay's process, designed for personal and professional growth, to the public.
Just like his previous books, this contribution will be as inspirational as pragmatic. With a blend of storytelling and actionable insights, it's all about providing the tools necessary to transform self-reflection into results. This fusion is informed by Dr. Petrovay's teaching background, which enables him to convey knowledge in an accessible way.
Dr. Petrovay's book, Out of Work Not Out of WORTH: Navigating the emotional side of job loss , was inspired by an evident industry gap. 'Whenever I go to the bookstore, I see so many works on change and so many texts on how to write the perfect resume. But I've never seen anything that combines both aspects, touching on the emotions of job loss while providing a way out,' he shares. 'The fear and shame that accompany job loss require a more comprehensive, human approach. The book aims to start that crucial conversation.'
In June, Dr. Petrovay will release a series of monthly webinars, each one based around one of the 5 key elements. Those wanting to get involved in the events to discover the power of confidence and perseverance should keep their eyes peeled for updates on Dr. Petrovay's website and his social media . Though still under wraps, the ripple effect of his upcoming book, The Stuck Paradigm , is already clear. But for Dr. Petrovay, this is just the beginning.

Philadelphia's Teenshop, a college prep and mentorship organization, celebrates 40 years of "Girls with Goals"
Twenty-four years after graduating, the impact of Teenshop still brings Nadia Frazier to tears. "No one understands the power of Teenshop if you utilize it the right way," Frazier says. Now her own daughter, 14-year-old Diana, is a part of the non-profit program that's helped mold thousands of girls from our region for four decades. "I'm usually the shy kid, just me, meeting people who look like me, it made me feel more comfortable," says Diana. "She's doing so much, she's learning so much," her mom added. It's all about exposure for Teenshop members. From college prep, to mentorship, trips, and life skills, it's all because of the work of Elleanor Jean Hendley. "She's amazing, I love her so much," Diana said of Hendley. "She's so persistent in what she does." CBS Philadelphia CBS Philadelphia CBS Philadelphia Hendley worked as a reporter and host at CBS Philadelphia for 25 years. Hendley started Teenshop in 1985 in her free time to give back. "There's just no better feeling than when you see how they blossom and how they grow," Hendley told us. "Forty years later, three chapters, 3,500 alumnae, 100% college acceptance. I'm still amazed by it all," she said. "They not only survive, but they thrive and can really aim high as they're reaching for their dreams." As the organization embarks on the next 40 years, Diana — who plans to become a pediatric nurse — vows to remain part of the sisterhood, with her mom by her side. "I'm so excited for her, I'm so excited for her future, and it starts now," Nadia said. "I just can't put it into words," Diana continued. "I'm very grateful for this opportunity."
